'Squeaky' Fromme to Be Released

2009-08-06

The president she tried to assassinate has been dead for nearly three years, and her longtime idol and leader, Charles Manson, remains in prison. However, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme is about to get her first taste of freedom in more than three decades. After 34 years in prison, Fromme is set to be released on parole on Aug. 16. A member of Charles Manson's infamous "family," Fromme was found guilty in 1975 of trying to assassinate then-President Gerald Ford. Fromme is now 60 years old.
And Sharon Tate isn't.

#3 "she couldn't see herself repeating her offense."

Well, she's probably correct in one respect.

It's doubtful she'll try to assassinate President Ford again....

#2 She said it never occurred to her that she could wind up in prison. Asked whether she had any regrets, Fromme said, "No. No, I don't. I feel it was fate." However, she said she thought that her incarceration was "unnecessary" and that she couldn't see herself repeating her offense.

Oh, yeah. Good move letting her out.
